The new clearsight free antivirus

Latest Build is http://clearsight.av-updates.net/releases/av/4.1.16/ClearsightAntivirus_4.1.16.exe

 

This is great news! Thank you!

That hyperlink leads to avosec_com though. But the link visible in post is correct.

If you upgrade to Premium, you'll get 3 engines from Emsisoft (Bitdefender and A2) and Sophos?

 

Clearsight Antivirus 4.1.16 released.

Desktop version

Sorry about that

You get our Sophos full scan engine with spyware PUP removal, Surf guard malicious website shield, instant updates rather than daily. you also get the behavioral engine for detection of unknown (non-signature threats). We dropped Emsisoft as there were to many false positives for our liking. We also have an android product but haven;t released it yet. if anyone wants a look email info@csantivirus.com and i`ll get you it.

So Free version doesn't include Ad/Spy/PUP detection and Behavior analysis. Thanks for clarifying.

I know youre running a business but IMO you should at least enable Ad/Spy/PUP detection in Free version. When you're online, you usually get Ad/Spy/PUP than anything else. Save Behavior analysis, Web protection and Central management for Premium.

 

That's good news. I'll try the new version when I get a chance and then post again.

 

There is the Standard Ad/Spyware detection but not the enhanced. I take on board your suggestions, we may look at it.

As far I know, it was solely the Emsisoft engine, but they don't use it anymore.

 

Thanks roger_m.

 

I think Clearsight Premium uses Sophos + Behavior engine and Surfguard (hphosts) from Emsisoft. I hope @csantivirus will confirm or deny.

 

@entropism I believe that was Emsisoft's antimalware engine(s). The other components like Mamutu and Surfguard may have been retained. I wonder how effective that combo may be?

 

New version 5 is out. Any takers? @roger_m hehe

Edit:
Hello @marcuskng
I believe this uses Avira now. Any difference from your Free version in terms of protection?

 

@thanatos_theos I'll give it a try soon.

 

Where can I find on its website the FREE version for v5.x?

Thanks

 

Interesting GUI, very basic. But what about the privacy, that's my biggest gripe with AV's nowadays.

 

There is no free version of v5.x at the moment.

 

Hey Rasheed!

They have a privacy policy

If you have any specific concerns/questions related to privacy I think it's best to contact them?

 

Roger! I tested it and it was heavy for my liking. Had some issues surfing too. The firewall is a shell for Windows Firewall.

Did you encounter the same issues? How was it for you?

 

Thanks, but I was speaking of the privacy of the app itself, nowadays almost all AV's are spying on you.

 

toyed with it in a VM, I find it hard to believe it has Sophos sigs, since both malware and web urls aren't detected by it that are detected by Sophos.

 

I got 12 GB of ram..One stick of 8 and one of 4....I always thought they had to be the same...But that's how Asus made it..
